Happy, Little, Time Waster

 



From the website: "Do you see a fish? Press the bell!

Fish swim every spring from the Vecht, via the Oudegracht and the canals, to the Kromme Rijn. Straight through Utrecht, looking for a place to lay eggs and reproduce. Sometimes they have to wait a long time at the Weerdsluis, because the lock gates do not open often in early spring. That is why there is a camera under water at the lock. Are there fish in the picture? Press the bell. The lock keeper receives a signal and, if there are many fish, will open the lock."

    1. The fish don't always swim by so that's the beauty of the time waster because you may have to wait awhile. Also I don't know the time of day fish are really active so you have to take in account the time difference from Eastern US to Netherlands. I think they might be in the Middle European TZ so 6 hours ahead of us.
